The Ferdiad Cycle

Morrigna

Morrigna is the goddess of war – spearmaid and hunter. She has many forms: a blackmaned woman, a dark horse with two tails or a large crow. While she is the goddess of war, victory, luck and prophecy, she is also the culler of the weak, being venerated by farmers who want safe delivery for their cattle. Her essence is loyalty.

Her priesthood are the prophets and the furies – fanatics who follow armies into war and whip them into a killing frenzy before a battle.
